Idea Palmview Academy

Summary:

Idea Palmview Academy is an elementary public charter school in Mission, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a predominantly Hispanic student population (96.66%) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (96.97%), the school faces significant challenges in academic performance.

Idea Palmview Academy's STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the Idea Public Schools district and the state of Texas averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.33% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 47.04% for the Idea Public Schools district and 48.85% for the state of Texas. The school also ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for most student groups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learner students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. With a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Idea Palmview Academy is performing significantly below average compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Interestingly, Idea Academy Mission, another Idea Public Schools charter school located just 0.18 miles away, outperforms Idea Palmview Academy in academic metrics. Additionally, nearby public schools such as Leo J Leo Elementary, Castro Elementary, and Marcell Elementary also generally outperform Idea Palmview Academy. The school's high concentration of Hispanic and low-income students, as well as its underperformance compared to nearby schools, are likely contributing factors to its challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
